Getting over someone you love and care about is hard but sometimes, you have to let go of things to welcome wonderful experiences. If it didn’t work out or if it drains you rather than energizes you, it is about time to let it go and move on. But it is easier said than done, would you agree? The good news here is that you don’t have to do crazy or complicated things to get over someone because there are simple ways that you can consider to get over him/her.

You can start by following this:

Even if it is hard, stop thinking about him/her

If the breakup is fresh, it is okay to think about him/her but if it is that long, condition yourself to stop thinking about him/her. Yes this is hard but if you are used to it, you will notice that you can manage the day without even thinking about him/her for a second. Here’s a trick- if you think about him/her, think of the bad things about him/her.

You should also get rid of all memories so you won’t remember him/her. Hide photo albums and gifts. If possible, burn it. If you are really serious about forgetting him/her, you should “un-friend” or “un-follow” him/her.

Rediscover yourself

It is time that you give yourself importance. Do the things that make you happy instead of wallowing in that dark corner. If you have hobbies and interests, pursue them. You will feel that you don’t need him/her to be happy. Take time to be with the family and friends. They will surely welcome you.

Accept it

It is important that you accept it. Don’t try to force yourself because they will only pity you. Accept the things that you cannot change and you should learn from it.
